General Information - Tietzsch MultiSafe HS 36 Bedienungsanleitung

3. Putting into operation

3.1 General information

Switching on: The device must be switched on with button
and the self-test (see 3.4) must be car-
ried out. For safety the HS 36 automatically switches on at voltage> 120 V AC / DC.
Switch-off: Press button
until „oFF" is indicated. When no voltage is applied, the device switches off
automatically after 180 s. The display illumination switches off after approximately 5 s when no vol-
tage is applied.
3.2 Battery
Your instrument is already supplied with 6 x AA batteries in accordance with IEC LR6 (Alkaline) or IEC FR6
(Lithium). The battery status is indicated by a battery symbol on the display (see section 5).
You need to change the battery of the device before continuing with testing when the empty battery
symbol on the display flashes.
3.3 Establishing contact with earth
Firmly connect the contact clip with the ground potential
(preferably fixed ball point/conductor rail).

3.4 Testing correct display and function (self-test)
In accordance with EN 50110-1 (VDE 0105-1) voltage testers must be checked if they function
correctly, briefly before and whenever possible after the use, for determining absence of voltage.
Step 1 – Test of the display
The device must be switched off for the self-test. Press and hold button .
All display segments light up on the display, the backlight changes between red and green and the
2 LEDs lights up and an acoustic signal occurs. Release button „TEST" is indicated on the display.
Step 2 – Check test circuit and protective resistors
Hold the test electrode for about 5 seconds to the
connected ground connection.
If „Rdy" appears and the green LED lights up,
then the MultiSafe HS 36 is ready for operation.
Self-test on the earth connection
Note!
In case the function test has not been successful, check the following:
Test electrode short-circuited? Test electrode screwed tightly? Battery empty? Repeat the function test!
Attention!
If the display fails during the self-test – even if only partial failure occurs – or if the instrument does not
indicate a function standby, the voltage tester may not be placed into operation!
If the message „TEST Err" appears on the LCD, the self-test has not been successfully executed or
forgotten. The voltage test must be terminated and the self-test must first be carried out.
